Bichon Frise
Powder-puff companion — small, social, and grooming-heavy.
Bichons are happy, hypoallergenic-leaning small dogs with a famously laid-back temperament. The white curly coat needs professional grooming every 4–6 weeks. They live 14–16 years.
What makes them, them
- 10–20 lb adult; curly hypoallergenic coat.
- Allergies + atopic dermatitis common.
- Patellar luxation, bladder stones, dental crowding.
- Cold-sensitive in winter despite the coat.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Eye-stain wipes daily — Bichon tear-staining is normal but needs care.
- Annual dental cleanings from age 3.
- Tag the collar — Bichons go to groomers often, who may switch tags.
